Karl Marlantes' new book, What It Is Like To Go To War, is astounding. He was already being halied for Matterhorn, one of the best books ever written about being "in country" in Vietnam, and this book is even better than Matterhorn.

Because not only does Marlantes tell us what it's like to go to war in this book, he tells us what we need to do for those returning from war, to help them re-enter and re-adjust to civilian life.
